Research Strategy:
The research process began with a search for the top 4-5 companies who offer training and certification for healthcare employees. We defined top as companies in this space with the largest market share and projected growth. After determining the top four companies who provide healthcare employees with training and certification, we used their websites to provide information on their brand presence, and the services they offer, the size of the company/market share, and pricing structure. Unfortunately, because these are private institutions, the pricing information was not found for any of the company's education and training products and services. In looking for these pricing structures, we first searched the company's education and training pages for the information and this information was not found. Next, we looked for this information using informational pages for prospective students. However, each company suggests contacting them for pricing information. We also conducted a broader web search for any articles that have published information for any of the companies' cost of education or pricing structure. In order to determine the best pricing information for individual situations, we have provided each company's contact information.
